Websites are required by law to be accessible, but without implementing regulations most businesses and retailers have little understanding of what accessible means. #NFBinDC #A11yAct

Accessibility is in the recipe you follow, it’s the flour mixed with the ingredients, it’s the knead of the dough, it’s the taste of acceptance, it’s the utensils to eat, and the plates in which you share. It isn’t the icing on the cake — it’s the whole experience. 🎂

Blind people use audible clues to gain context about what’s going on around us. If/when you see us approaching and you’re making some kind of noise (talking, typing, fiddling with your keys) don’t stop.

Just got denied an @Uber ride because I’m a blind person and the driver apparently “doesn’t have time for that”. Who wants to bet nothing Will actually be done about this? 🤔

BREAKING: Donald Trump melts down after the New York Times correctly states that his power in the GOP is "weakening" and pathetically demands that the paper surrender its "manufactured" Pulitzer Prize. RT IF YOU LOVE TO SEE HIM SQUIRM!

I have completed several of the tests myself nonvisually. When the app prompts to pair the reader, press the button, wait a second, then press and hold for 2 or 3 seconds, and the process should move on. #A11y @nfb_Voice @Matt_Hackert

The @EllumeHealth #Covid19 tests distributed by the government can be completed nonvisually. Even though the app says to look for the light, this is not necessary to test successfully. The app moves to the next step once the reader connects. #A11y @nfb_Voice @Matt_Hackert

Just slipped on my orange #NFB22 wristband after securing a negative COVID test result using the fully accessible @CueHealth system. Thank you for making accessibility a priority. Proud our health insurance reimburses these for blind people.

Accessible gaming, collaborative tools, and productivity suites are some of the topics we’ve covered in our accessibility boutiques. Thanks to @MDDisabilities for supporting these efforts through the Nonvisual Access Initiative grants.

In Kansas City, one student painted a sign with blood-red hand prints and the words “I want to feel safe.” In Saint Charles, a student who walked out of school told her mother: “Thoughts and prayers are not enough.”

If there is a weapon so dangerous that a group of police officers, whose responsibility is saving children from being murdered, are too afraid to go up against a single person wielding it, that weapon should not be legal.

The science has been clear on this issue for many years now, actually.

This shouldn't need to be said. A truism. But let's say it loud... The Science Is Clear: Gun Control Saves Lives scientificamerican.com/artic… via @sciam #Uvalde "The science is abundantly clear: More guns do not stop crime. Guns kill more children each year than auto accidents."
